SpaceX Starlink produced a similar launch window at 2:47 a.m. EDT on Wednesday. This Night Owl mission marks the 65th orbital launch of the year so far from the Space Coast, adding to the ongoing annual record for 2023.

The day before liftoff, SpaceX announced that its Starlink high-speed internet network was now available across Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands in the western Pacific Ocean.

“Since being awarded the original license to operate the Starlink Generation 1 network in March 2018, SpaceX has rapidly deployed satellites to bring Internet to hard-to-reach places in the U.S. and abroad,” the company announced in February.

As of Saturday, SpaceX had launched 5,445 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit since May 2019, according to Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

Of that total, 5,041 are still in orbit, according to McDowell’s records.
